I'm surprised the Military is so picky with all the bitching they do about amount of people they need. | ||

I think it's more about the fact that someone has balls to tell them that; edit: and how retarded he has to be to do that, is there a position in Police where one actually kills people on a daily basis? Even SWAT isn't as dangerous as real war imo. On October 09 2009 06:39 Kennigit wrote: Travis please trust me on this. Unless you have an actual desire to serve in the military beyond monetary compensation, DO. NOT. DO. IT. You need to WANT to do the job and you will get weeded out in a few weeks of training unless you actually have the desire to serve. Even though I've been through ridiculously outdated and meaningless compulsory service (wtf, is it really 10 years after we joined NATO?) I second this. | ||

If you want to do something religious wise and still be part of the military you can always ask the recruiter if you can be a Chaplains assistant. You will be working directly for and with the Chaplain, whom is usually a Captain or higher  . I also would like to add that if u and some1 else is applying for a job and you both show the same qualities except one of you has prior military experience; that person is more then likely to be gauranteed the position.

Even SWAT isn't as dangerous as real war imo. Uh you take a lie detector test when you join the more major police departments so they WILL find out bro. Also if you think killing people on a daily basis actually has any direct relationship to how dangerous a job is in this circumstance you're rather ignorant of police work. Police officer is dangerous shit because in the grand scheme of things you know what to expect in a war... with Police a routine traffic stop can turn into a gun fight. I guess by and large war would be more dangerous but I don't know what it being dangerous or not has to do with smoking weed back when they were like 15. | ||

I guess I never really thought about it before. Why is it disgusting? Chaplains are a great asset to the military. They help soldiers and even there spouses through many issues. Chaplains are basically counselors, they are there for emotional/motivational support and religious guidance. You'd be suprised how many soldiers go to a chaplain to talk about even issues not even related to the military. Oh and chaplains dont carry weapons. So i dont see how they are even remotely disgusting. For some reason i found that comment offensive and im not even religious. | ||

I meant things like friendly fire more, what LonGGone wrote too. I don't think lie detectors are used in courts for example, they aren't 100% accurate + those telling lies about drugs may not consider it lies themselves if they believe strong enough that their past usage has no affect at their future job at all. | ||

Can't believe how immature/ignorant you are... Pisses me off so much how you talk shit like that to the guys who's fighting the war for our country. Especially on the fact that those 9 out of 10 people in the military will without a thought gladly take a bullet on your behave even after you saying those comments about them. I swear people talking like that really makes me feel sorry for my fucking brothers/friends that lost their fucking life on your behave.. Can't believe you really are not banned for that comment.. BTW my apologies for the off-topic on your blog.. | ||

My AVG Free didn't catch any viruses, so I'm guessing the site is ok. The article is only a teaser though. The real treats are the links at the bottom of the page. I would say they're fairly accurate, and very well written. Lots of information for you my friend, hope I helped out! Oh, and my brother is currently a captain in the Air Force right now. He first tried to enlist as a pilot, but they said his color blindness (which was very weak) prevented him from becoming one. So he became a maintenance officer, and he hated that job. Now he's into contracting which is pretty much about talking with potential clients, writing forms, sitting at the desk all day, etc. Boring, but I'm guessing it pays well enough because he's got a nice house in Virginia, bought his wife a new van, able to support his two kids, and goes to work from 7 a.m. to 4 - 6 p.m. with weekends off. Not bad if you ask me. He's in Iraq right now, but I'm not too worried about him. He wrote that all he does is stay in base, and all the clients come to him. I asked him to take pictures of Baghdad, but I doubt he will  | ||
